Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Republican from Utah, asked FBI Director
James Comey point-blank if Clinton lied during the investigation
of her emails. He also said Congress would send a referral to the
FBI to investigate whether Clinton lied under oath about her
handling of classified information.

Clinton, who is now the presumptive Democratic nominee for
president, has come under fire for using a private email server
while she was secretary of state.

Comey opened his testimony by explaining why the FBI decided to
recommend the Justice Department not prosecute Clinton over the
email scandal, despite concluding she was "extremely careless"
with classified information.

"There are two things that matter in a criminal investigation of
a subject," Comey said. "What did the person do, and when they
did that thing, what were they thinking? When you look at the
hundred-years-plus of the Justice Department investigation and
prosecution of mishandling of classified information, those two
questions are obviously present."

Comey continued: "We don't want to put people in jail unless we
prove that they knew they were doing something they shouldn't do.
When I look at the facts we gathered here, I see evidence of
great carelessness, but I do not see evidence that is sufficient
to establish that Secretary Clinton or those with whom she was
corresponding both talked about classified information on email
and that when they did it, they knew it was against the law."
